The Night Country
Synopsis
With Finch's help, Alice escaped the Hinterland and the dark legacy of her reclusive grandmother, Althea Proserpine. Now she and the other stranded refugees of the fairy-tale world are trying to build unmagical lives in New York City. But someone, or something, is killing off the Hinterland's survivors one by one, and Alice suspects their deaths aren't random.
Meanwhile, back in the winking-out remains of the Hinterland, Finch searches for a way home while the story-world itself unravels around him. The sequel to The Hazel Wood continues Alice's fight to separate herself from the stories that made her.
